The War on Drugs release details of solo shows

One of the most exciting rock’n’roll bands to emerge in recent years, Philadelphia’s The War on Drugs will tour Australia for the first time this November. Already announced on the impressive lineup for the Harvest festival, the War on Drugs will also play two intimate shows in Sydney and Melbourne.

Following several line up changes including the departure of founding member Kurt Vile, the four piece released their second album Slave Ambient in 2011 as the follow up to their 2008 debut Wagonwheel Blues. It was recorded over several years at frontman Adam Granduciel’s studio, and is full of songs that feel both refreshingly new yet instantly identifiable. With tracks such as their single Baby Missiles evoking the likes of Springsteen and Dylan, The War On Drugs craft nostalgic anthems with their signature brand of rock, folk, blues and everything in between.Tickets are on sale now
